Fuse for furnace ignition?

Ongoing saga of my boon docking with ought generator, or alternator to charge batteries. Zamp solar suitcase trying but very cloudy and rainy.

My fridge had a C code… low DC voltage… think my batteries are about 11.8… now my furnace starts up blower but doesn’t ignite.. shuts off at like 25 seconds. Have cut house power… shut off thrmostat etc. no help

Ideas?

At 11.8 volts you are probably into the damage area if your batteries are lead. If lithium they are still way to low. Could you at least pull a vehicle close enough to use jumper cables. Or borrow/rent/buy a small generator? I would stop using the batteries to prevent further damage.
If none of the above will work you need to go somewhere where there is a place to plug in to get the battery back up to a safe area. Sorry your trip is not going well but if none of the above are possible it is time to go home or to a place where you can plug in.

RV Furnaces have a minimum voltage requirement. I believe most are 12.0 volts. My experience with low voltage matches your description. With the model number it would be quick look on Google for the specifications.

Unfortunately you need to get your batteries charged up. By chance do you have a jumper cable? Pull the coach battery put it up at the engine compartment and use a jumper cable to charge it up. It can take hours to charge.
